LTE Modem LB1110 and LB1111

Introduction

The NETGEAR LTE Modem LB1110 and LB1111 models, in this manual referred to as the modem, can provide broadband data services to areas where wired Internet is not readily available or is difficult, costly, or time-consuming to install. The modem uses existing 4G LTE mobile networks with automatic fallback to 3G and 2G mobile networks to provide broadband data services.

If you connect a WiFi router to the modem’s Gigabit Ethernet port, the mobile network connection can provide high-speed Internet access for multiple users and devices in homes and offices.

Alternatively, you can connect the modem to an existing DSL, cable, or fiber optics gateway that supplies two WAN ports so that the modem can provide a backup Internet connection for your home or office to achieve continuous connectivity.

Professional installation and configuration are not required. If a SIM card is installed and activated, by default, the modem automatically searches for and connects to your network provider’s mobile broadband network.

For information about installing the modem, see the quick start guide, which you can download from downloadcenter.netgear.com.

In the unlikely situation that the modem does not automatically connect to your network provider’s mobile broadband network, you might need to add an access profile name (APN) profile. For information about adding an APN profile, see View APN Profiles or Add a Custom APN Profile on page 33.

LTE Modem LB1110 and LB1111

Internet Connection Over Mobile Broadband

By default, when the modem powers up with a SIM card installed, it automatically searches for and connects to your network provider’s mobile broadband network. This process might take several minutes. The SIM card that is installed determines the mobile broadband network to which the modem connects.

Note Even though the modem might connect to the mobile broadband network of the same service provider each time that you start the modem, the type of mobile broadband service (LTE, 4G, 3G, 2G, or another type of service) to which the modem connects might differ.

If the modem does not automatically connect to the mobile broadband network after 10 minutes, the Power LED remains solid amber, and you might need to contact your mobile service provider to get the access point name (APN) profile information and add (see View APN Profiles or Add a Custom APN Profile on page 33) and activate (see Select an APN Profile on page 34) a custom APN profile in the modem. If your mobile service provider informs you that your APN profile is correct but the modem still does not connect to the mobile broadband network, see Troubleshoot the Mobile Broadband Internet Connection on page 86.

If you do not want the modem to connect automatically to the mobile broadband network, change the default autoconnect option (see Manage Mobile Broadband Auto Connect Options on page 30).

For information about your mobile service provider and the broadband connection, see View Service Provider, Type of Service, and Signal Strength on page 63 and View Information About the Mobile Broadband Connection on page 65.

Connect a Computer, Switch, Hub, Router, or WiFi Router to the Modem

By default, the modem functions in Router mode with the DHCP server enabled and IP pass-through (IPPT) disabled.This means that you can connect multiple devices to the modem, for example, through an Ethernet switch or hub, and that each device can receive an IP address from the modem.

If you want to connect a router or WiFi router to the modem, change the operation mode of the modem to Bridge mode, in which IP pass-through (IPPT) is enabled and only a single device can be connected to the Internet through the modem. (The single device that is connected to the modem is the router or WiFi router, but depending on the capabilities of the router or WiFi router, you can connect multiple devices to the router or WiFi router.)

If you want to connect a computer only to the modem, the modem can function either in Router mode or in Bridge mode.

For information about changing the operation mode of the modem, see Manage Router Mode and Bridge Mode on page 22.

Manage the Modem LAN Settings	3

This chapter describes how to manage the LAN settings that the modem provides. The chapter contains the following sections:

•Change the LAN Settings on page 21

•Manage Router Mode and Bridge Mode on page 22

•Change the DHCP Server Settings on page 23

•Disable the DHCP Server on page 26

•Enable the DMZ on page 26

•Disable VPN Pass-Through on page 27

LTE Modem LB1110 and LB1111

Change the LAN Settings

The modem is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side. The modem’s default LAN IP configuration is as follows:

•LAN IP address. 192.168.5.1

•Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0

This address and subnet mask are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks and are suitable for most applications. The IP address and subnet mask identify which addresses are local to a specific device and which must be reached through a gateway or router.

Although you can change the IP address of the modem, this is rarely necessary. However, if you establish a VPN connection to a server that assigns IP addresses in the same range as the one that is used by the modem, you must change the IP address of the modem to prevent network problems.

To change the LAN settings:

1.Launch a web browser from a device that is connected to the modem.

The device can be a computer that is directly connected to the modem or a client from a router that is connected to the modem.

2.In the address field of your browser, enter http://192.168.5.1. The Dashboard page displays.

Manage the Modem LAN Settings

LTE Modem LB1110 and LB1111

By default, Router mode is enabled on the modem. By connecting the modem to an Ethernet switch or hub, you can connect multiple Ethernet devices such as printers, credit card terminals, and computers to the modem.

In Router mode, Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled, the built-in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is enabled to assign a LAN IP address to each connected device, and IP pass-through (IPPT) is disabled.

Manage the Modem LAN Settings

LTE Modem LB1110 and LB1111

In Bridge mode, only a single device can be connected to the Internet through the modem. This device can be a computer, router, or WiFi router. In Bridge mode, Network Address Translation (NAT) is disabled, the DHCP server is disabled, and IPPT is enabled.

Because IPPT is enabled in Bridge mode, Bridge mode can be useful for implementing a virtual private network (VPN), point-to-point, or remote management connection to a single device that is connected to the modem. Such connections usually require that a public IP address is assigned to the modem’s WAN port, and through IPPT, to the device that is connected to the modem.

To change the modem from Router mode to Bridge mode, or the other way around:

1.Launch a web browser from a device that is connected to the modem.

The device can be a computer that is directly connected to the modem or a client from a router that is connected to the modem.

2.In the address field of your browser, enter http://192.168.5.1. The Dashboard page displays.

3.Select Settings > Advanced > LAN. The LAN page displays.

4.Do one of the following:

•To enable Bridge mode, select the Bridge radio button.

•To enable Router mode, select the Router radio button. By default, the Router radio button is selected.

5.Click the Submit button.

Your settings are saved and the modem restarts. Any devices that are connected to the modem are disconnected when the modem restarts.

Enabling Bridge mode automatically disables the modem’s DHCP server.You can connect only a single device to the modem.

Enabling Router mode automatically enables the modem’s DHCP server, which assigns a LAN IP address to each connected device.

Change the DHCP Server Settings

Note You can change the DHCP server settings only when the modem functions in Router mode (see Manage Router Mode and Bridge Mode on page 22).

The modem is preconfigured to function as a DHCP server when Router mode is enabled. The modem’s default DHCP IP address range is 192.168.5.20–192.168.5.99.

Manage the Modem LAN Settings

LTE Modem LB1110 and LB1111

Although you can change the DHCP address range of the modem, this is rarely necessary. However, if you establish a VPN connection to a server that assigns IP addresses in the same range as the one that is used by the modem, you must change the DHCP range of the modem to prevent network problems.

The modem’s DHCP server assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN.The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the modem.The modem assigns IP addresses to the attached computers from a predefined pool of addresses. (You can change the pool of addresses.) Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the modem work well.

The modem delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:

•An IP address from the range that you defined

•Subnet mask

•Gateway IP address (the modem’s LAN IP address)

•DNS server IP address (the modem’s LAN IP address)

To change the DHCP server settings when the modem functions in Router mode:

1.Launch a web browser from a device that is connected to the modem.

The device can be a computer that is directly connected to the modem or a client from a router that is connected to the modem.

2.In the address field of your browser, enter http://192.168.5.1. The Dashboard page displays.

Manage the Modem LAN Settings

LTE Modem LB1110 and LB1111

By default, when the modem functions in Router mode, the DHCP server is enabled.

5.In the DHCP IP Range fields, enter the start and end IP addresses for the DHCP pool.

The IP addresses must be in the same network as the LAN IP address of the modem. By default, the DHCP pool consists of addresses in the 192.168.5.20–192.168.5.99 range.

The Submit button displays after you enter IP addresses for the DHCP pool.

6.To change the period that the leased DHCP address remains effective, in the DHCP lease time field, enter a time in minutes.

By default, the lease time is 720 minutes (12 hours).

7.To change the DNS settings, next to DNS mode, select the Manual radio button. The DNS 1 and DNS 2 fields display.

By default, the Auto radio button is selected and the modem uses the DNS servers that are specified by the mobile broadband service provider.

Enable the DMZ

Note You can enable the DMZ settings only when the modem functions in Router mode (see Manage Router Mode and Bridge Mode on page 22).

In a demilitarized zone (DMZ) network configuration, a designated computer runs outside the firewall in the DMZ. This computer intercepts incoming Internet traffic, providing an extra layer of protection for the rest of the network, and sending all incoming data to a particular IP address.

To enable the DMZ when the modem functions in Router mode and to designate a computer to receive incoming traffic:

1.Launch a web browser from a device that is connected to the modem.

The device can be a computer that is directly connected to the modem or a client from a router that is connected to the modem.

2.In the address field of your browser, enter http://192.168.5.1. The Dashboard page displays.

3.Select Settings > Advanced > LAN. The LAN page displays.

4.Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

5.In the DMZ section, next to DMZ Enabled, select the On radio button.

The Submit button and the IP Address field display after you select the radio button. By default, the Off radio button is selected and the DMZ server is disabled.

6.In the DMZ Address field, enter the IP address of the computer to which you want all data sent. By default, the IP address for the DMZ computer is 192.168.5.4.

7.Click the Submit button.

Your settings are saved and the modem restarts.

Disable VPN Pass-Through

Note You can disable VPN pass-through only when the modem functions in Router mode (see Manage Router Mode and Bridge Mode on page 22).

If a device that is connected to the modem functions as a VPN client for a VPN endpoint on the Internet, encrypted VPN packets are sent to the modem. Because the modem filters the encrypted packets through Network Address Translation (NAT), the packets become invalid if you do not enable VPN pass-through. By default, when the modem functions in Router mode, VPN pass-through is enabled.

Situations might occur in which you want to disable VPN pass-through.

To disable VPN pass-through when the modem functions in Router mode:

1.Launch a web browser from a device that is connected to the modem.

The device can be a computer that is directly connected to the modem or a client from a router that is connected to the modem.

2.In the address field of your browser, enter http://192.168.5.1.
